Still working with the things I learned in Lisa Gloria's workshop. This is another rose from the Antique Rose Farm.

 

Just about ready for the next art festival. My daughter Anika and I will be putting our shingle out at the Fresh Paint Festival on the waterfront in downtown Everett. This is a terrific little art festival where the artists will be out demonstrating their craft. I currently have plans to paint a still life of pears. Everyone loves pears, right?

 

If you would like more info on this festival click here. My recommendation is to come a few minutes before it opens. There should still be plenty of parking right next to the festival. After perusing the booths and admiring the sailboats have lunch at one of several great restaurants right there. Sunday there will also be a farmers market at one end of the festival. So much to do! :)

Putting the ideas to work that I learned in Lisa Gloria's online workshop.

 

Frantically packing for the Coupeville Arts Festival this weekend. I applied all the way back in February, was notified I was on the wait list in May and then a week and a half ago was told I was in! Thankfully, I was mostly ready since I will be in another art festival next weekend. I've sold some of my daily paintings at farmer's markets before but this is my first art festival, so I'm pretty nervous. Cross fingers for me that all the work and expense will be worth it!

I've taken a few excellent online courses lately and this was one of them. Lisa emailed us a photo to paint from and then she demonstrated live online. I painted along with her, asked questions here and there and what you see above is the result. Needless to say I was tickled pink with what I had accomplished. She is teaching another class this weekend. Two days for $99. It's hard to beat that! If you'd like to check it out click here.
